Last weekend I met my BF’s parents. We drove down to see them, they live about 1.5 hours away from me. I was really nervous meeting them. It had been a long time, since a boy took me home to meet his parents. I don’t know why I was nervous because they were very nice and made me feel very welcomed. I also got to meet the BF’s brother, sister-in-law, their children and various other people. There were times I felt a little overwhelmed with so many people around. I’m not used to big families. I have one brother and growing up I never had any relatives around – they all live in England. So I don’t know what it is like to be around big families. I survived and everyone was really nice and friendly.

Yesterday I went hiking for the first time this summer. That is pretty sad, as I usually start in May. The weather this year was crappy in May and June and I was busy in July so I’m just getting out now! I had an awesome time hiking. I went with a friend and we did one of my favorite hikes in Waterton. I wish there was a job that I could do where I could hike everyday (in the summer of course). I finally got to try my new backpack that I received last Christmas and I love it. My shoulders did not hurt by the end of the hike, which they usually would as my other backpack doesn’t have the greatest shoulder straps.
